Why is professional AC cleaning important in Dubai homes and offices?

Dubai’s climate creates constant high humidity inside AC systems, which encourages microbial growth. Without proper cleaning, AC units can circulate contaminants throughout indoor spaces.

How is Saniservice different from standard AC cleaning companies in the UAE?

Most AC cleaners focus on visible dust. Saniservice follows a scientific indoor environmental remediation process that targets microbial sources, moisture behavior, and airflow contamination.

Is AC mould common in Dubai buildings?

Yes. Due to year-round AC use, high humidity, and sealed buildings, AC-related microbial growth is extremely common in Dubai residential and commercial properties.

Why does simple AC duct cleaning often fail to solve air quality issues?

Duct cleaning alone does not address coils, drain pans, humidity imbalance, or microbial reservoirs. Without correcting these, contamination quickly returns.

How does Saniservice assess whether an AC system is contaminated?

We begin with system inspection and risk assessment, examining moisture patterns, airflow paths, and areas prone to microbial growth rather than relying on visual assumptions.

Why is fogging not an effective AC disinfection method?

Fogging treats air temporarily but does not remove contamination from coils, drains, or surfaces where microbes grow. It masks symptoms without solving root causes.

Can bleach be used safely inside AC systems?

Bleach fails because it does not penetrate biofilms, can corrode components, and does not correct humidity conditions that allow regrowth.

How does humidity affect AC hygiene in the UAE climate?

Humidity is the primary driver of microbial growth. Without addressing moisture behavior inside the system, cleaning alone will not deliver lasting results.

What does “medical-grade AC disinfection” actually mean?

It refers to controlled cleaning and disinfection methods aligned with indoor environmental health standards, not perfumes or cosmetic sanitizers.

How does Saniservice verify that AC cleaning was effective?

Where required, we use pre- and post-intervention validation methods to confirm that contamination levels have been meaningfully reduced.

Is AC cleaning necessary even if there is no visible mould?

Yes. Microbial contamination often exists inside coils and drains long before visible signs appear, especially in Dubai’s climate.

How often should AC systems be cleaned in Dubai?

Frequency depends on usage, humidity levels, and building type, but most UAE properties require more frequent intervention than cooler climates.

Can poor AC hygiene affect health?

Contaminated AC systems can circulate microbial fragments and irritants that may worsen respiratory symptoms and indoor comfort.

Why does Saniservice sometimes clean less than other companies?

Our methodology focuses on correct intervention. We avoid unnecessary disturbance that can spread contamination or damage system components.

Is this service suitable for villas, apartments, and commercial buildings?

Yes. The same scientific principles apply across residential, commercial, and sensitive environments in the UAE.

How does Saniservice handle AC cleaning in occupied spaces?

We use controlled procedures designed to minimize disruption and prevent the spread of contaminants during cleaning.

What role does airflow play in AC contamination?

Improper airflow allows moisture and particles to settle, creating ideal conditions for microbial growth inside the system.

Can AC cleaning reduce recurring odours?

Yes, when odours are caused by microbial growth or trapped moisture, addressing the source eliminates the problem rather than masking it.

Why is source identification important before disinfection?

Disinfection without understanding the cause leads to recurrence. Our process identifies why contamination formed in the first place.

Who should consider Saniservice’s AC cleaning and disinfection service?

Clients in Dubai who prioritize verified indoor air quality, occupant health, and long-term building performance rather than superficial cleaning.

Is odor from living room harming my children?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new flat three months ago, I’ve noticed a strange odor coming from the living room, where my children usually play. It’s not too strong but persistent, kind of like damp soil or mildew. Every time they spend extended periods there, their coughs seem to worsen. Could this be related to indoor air quality? What could be causing it and how can we improve the situation for our family's health?

The odor coming from the living room could indeed be related to your indoor air quality. In Dubai and across the UAE, regulations like those enforced by EN 16798-1 for indoor environmental quality provide standards that should be met to ensure a healthy environment for families.

Firstly, this smell of damp soil or mildew is likely due to moisture buildup within the walls or floor of your flat. This can lead to mold growth which could be affecting your children's health as prolonged exposure might cause respiratory issues and exacerbate coughs. The UAE has specific guidelines regarding indoor air quality, but it’s always wise to have a professional inspection done.

To mitigate this issue, start by checking for any visible signs of moisture or dampness around the living room. Look out for water stains, discoloration on walls or ceilings, or even condensation on windows. If you notice these, address them immediately as they could be indicators of potential mold growth.

Ventilation is key in managing indoor air quality. Ensure that your flat has proper ventilation systems in place and are being used effectively. Opening windows for short periods can help reduce moisture levels and improve air circulation. Additionally, consider using dehumidifiers to control humidity levels within the living room and other affected areas of your home.

It’s also important to maintain cleanliness by regularly cleaning carpets, curtains, and furniture that might harbor dust mites or mold spores. Regularly washing bedding and using hypoallergenic mattress covers can further help in reducing allergens.

If you find it challenging to manage the situation on your own or if symptoms persist despite these measures, I recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and remediation service. They can provide expert advice and solutions tailored specifically to your home’s needs in Dubai/UAE.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for the health of you and your family. Taking proactive steps now could prevent more serious issues down the line.
